Arlington, Va. (CNSNews.com) - "Social engineering" policies applied to the U.S. armed forces during the Clinton era could be about to make a comeback, a panelist at the Conservative Political Action Conference said.
The recent appointment of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) to the Senate Armed Services Committee could mean the military will again find itself debating the pros and cons of assigning women to combat roles and allowing homosexuals to serve openly, said Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness.
Women currently are not allowed to serve in combat roles, and homosexuals are allowed to serve under a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy introduced 10 years ago by then-President Bill Clinton.
Senator Clinton could not be reached for comment. (http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPentagon.asp?Pag e=/Pentagon/archive/200302/PEN20030203a.html)
